Sexual health quickies

‘LGF Quickies’ are short videos presented by staff from The LGF. The aim is to give you important sexual health messages in a quick and entertaining way, and (hopefully!) for you to share them with your friends.

The Quickies began back in May 2012 when we conducted research both locally and online to find out how men who have sex with men would like to get sexual health information.

Since then we have had over 40,000 views of our videos and they are still going strong.
